Summary
When Robert ‘Bobby’ Putnam’s body was found by the Crime Scene Unit—slumped in a wheeled swivel chair, zip ties at his wrists, and dark, drying blood spattered on the ground beneath him—he was behind a closed blue door beyond the puddle of blood underneath the bodies of Maeve Donovan and Diane Turner.
Found with his body was an unsent, typed letter written by Dr Susan Calvin addressed to Dr Joseph Bell. It was on Bobby’s lap, unfolded, propped within an envelope. After being photographed, it was put into processing for evidentiary purposes. Those who later heard of it didn’t have any difficulty putting two and two together; they knew who it was from and who it was written to despite its anonymity. They’d read their earlier exchanges.
Spencer isn’t the only one who loses Maeve the day she’s killed. Mourning parents—one of whom is sick—have to learn to move on without their daughter. The stages of grief are nonlinear and ongoing.

Summary
When SSA Derek Morgan had been forced by SSA Jason Gideon—then Unit Chief of the Behavioral Analysis Unit—to assist rookie cadets at the FBI academy who needed an extra something, he’d been irritated.
This was the second year in a row that he had been given the assignment, and he was already over it before it even began.
“This cadet needs all the help he can get in physical training,” Jason declared in exasperation. “But his potential is unparalleled. He’s a little wet, though, so—” He gave a shrug in that laissez-faire you'll-see-for-yourself manner and left it at that.
Weeks after his dear friend has been abducted and his case has gone cold, Derek reminisces on the first time he was forced to assist in training Cadet Spencer Reid at the FBI Academy. They hadn’t hit off well in the beginning. But it was the beginning of something better.Series
